26CornerBlitz Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 5'9" awesome Some of the best slot receivers are smaller in stature.
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 He's eh. He's ok but you can do much, much better. We can sign other guys besides former 8-8 Jets right?
26CornerBlitz Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 @mikerodak In addition to throwing his hat in the (growing) ring at No. 3 WR, Jeremy Kerley could be a punt returner. Bills got little from that group.
thebandit27 Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 He's eh. He's ok but you can do much, much better. We can sign other guys besides former 8-8 Jets right? Considering that every year in which he played for Rex, he's had more receptions than Hogan, I'd say Kerley would be an upgrade. And likely a cheap one. To boot, he wouldn't count against us for compensatory picks next year. If he'll take $2M per, let's get him in the fold and move on to finding an inexpensive option at RT to compete and a backup center
billrooter Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) I think he'd be a real nice signing, if he comes at a decent salary very little to lose, if he doesn't look good you hack him. I think he'd be a good slot guy, and unlike Percy he stays healthy. Edited March 15, 2016 by billrooter

He's fine but I would rather draft a guy. But we rarely throw across the middle anyways.
26CornerBlitz Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 @RyanTalbotBills Not that Chris Hogan is the measuring stick, but Kerley has outperformed the WR in his career and many fans were sad to see Hogan go.

thebandit27 Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 That's probably because he was basically their #1, no? It may have turned out that he got the most targets, but I don't believe that was the intent based on their roster makeup: 2011 they had Santonio Holmes, Derrick Mason, and Plaxico Burress 2012 they had Holmes, Braylon Edwards and Stephen Hill 2013 they had Holmes, Hill, and David Nelson 2014 they had Eric Decker and traded for Percy Harvin Ewwwwww Because? Betcha he won't have more receptions than Hogan next year. Tom Brady can have that effect on receivers
BarleyNY Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Returner and slot WR replaceing Butterfingers and Hogan, respectively, I'd wager.

Tom Brady can have that effect on receivers True, but the talent ahead of him wasn't great(especially Hill, wow what a terrible player), and between a scared Sancho and Geno, Kerley got a ton of targets he wouldn't have on a better team.

Is that really a negative though? The fact that the guy produced when there wasn't much around him probably bodes well for his ability to produce when he's surrounded by other talent. I doubt he'll be a downgrade from Hogan.
kickedface Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 i'd give him a look over. if the price is right pull the trigger
Jamie Nails Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 This is as riviting as Mario watch. Did he sign yet?

I just don't expect him to put up 800 yards ever again. The major knock against guys like Hogan and Chandler is that their numbers were based on opportunity, not talent. I think Kerley is in that camp as well. Not a real negative, because we do need a 3/4 WR and that's the talent you get at that spot. Edited March 15, 2016 by FireChan

I'll be pleased that they filled a need if they sign him for a reasonable contract.
